is necessary to write another valid command into

point, the verify operation is terminated by writing a
valid command (e.g., Program Set-Up) to the
command register. Figure 5, the 28F010 Quick-
Erase Algorithm flowchart, illustrates how
commands and bus operations are combined to
perform electrical erasure of the 28F010. Refer to
AC Characteristics—Write/Erase/Program Only
Operations and waveforms for specific timing
parameters.
2.2.2.3
Set-Up Erase/Erase Commands
Set-Up Erase is a command-only operation that
stages the device for electrical erasure of all bytes
in the array. The set-up erase operation is
performed by writing 20H to the command register.
To commence chip-erasure, the Erase command
(20H) must again be written to the register. The
erase operation begins with the rising edge of the
WE# pulse and terminates with the rising edge of
the next WE# pulse (i.e., Erase Verify command).
2.2.2.5
Set-Up Program/Program
Commands
Set-up program is a command-only operation that
stages the device for byte programming. Writing
40H into the command register performs the set-up
operation.
This two-step sequence of set-up followed by
execution ensures that memory contents are not
accidentally erased. Also, chip-erasure can only
occur when high voltage is applied to the pin. In the
absence of this high voltage, memory contents are
protected against erasure. Refer to AC
Characteristics—Write/Erase/Program Only Oper-
ations and waveforms for specific timing
parameters.
Once the program set-up operation is performed,
the next WE# pulse causes a transition to an active
programming operation. Addresses are internally
latched on the falling edge of the WE# pulse. Data
is internally latched on the rising edge of the WE#
pulse. The rising edge of WE# also begins the
programming
operation.
The
programming
operation terminates with the next rising edge of
WE#, used to write the Program Verify command.
Refer to AC Characteristics—Write/Erase/Program
Only Operations and Waveforms for specific timing
parameters.
2.2.2.4
Erase Verify Command
The Erase command erases all bytes of the array in
parallel. After each erase operation, all bytes must
be verified. The erase verify operation is initiated by
writing A0H into the command register. The
address for the byte to be verified must be supplied
as it is latched on the falling edge of the WE# pulse.
The register write terminates the erase operation
with the rising edge of its WE# pulse.
2.2.2.6
Program Verify Command
The 28F010 is programmed on a byte-by-byte
basis. Byte programming may occur sequentially or
at random. Following each programming operation,
the byte just programmed must be verified.
The 28F010 applies an internally-generated margin
voltage to the addressed byte. Reading FFH from
the addressed byte indicates that all bits in the byte
are erased.
The program verify operation is initiated by writing
C0H into the command register. The register write
terminates the programming operation with the
rising edge of its WE# pulse. The program verify
operation stages the device for verification of the
byte last programmed. No new address information
is latched.
The Erase Verify command must be written to the
command register prior to each byte verification to
latch its address. The process continues for each
byte in the array until a byte does not return FFH
data, or the last address is accessed.
The 28F010 applies an internally-generated margin
voltage to the byte. A microprocessor read cycle
outputs the data. A successful comparison between
the programmed byte and true data means that the
byte is successfully programmed. Programming
then proceeds to the next desired byte location.
Figure 5, the 28F010 Quick-Pulse Programming
Algorithm flowchart, illustrates how commands are
combined with bus operations to perform byte
In the case where the data read is not FFH, another
erase operation is performed. (Refer Section
2.2.2.3,
Set-Up
Erase/Erase
Commands.)
Verification then resumes from the address of the
last-verified byte. Once all bytes in the array have
been verified, the erase step is complete. The
device
can
be
programmed.
